autumn

If you're sad to see a Montana Summer come to an end, the upside is that a Montana Fall can be (and usually is) absolutely breathtaking. The colors that erupt across the state are a photographer's dream and you'll find picture-worthy landscapes almost everywhere you look.

I'm not sure there's a pumpkin spice latte 'season' anymore, since just about everything seems to have a flavorful version of the original beverage. Lovers of the popular flavor can rejoice in the availability, and there are those of us who simple shake our head because we're not ready for Fall.

A long, warm autumn comes with some risk as over 1/3 of Montana is under a Fire Weather Watch on Thursday.

It's actually rare to get a Montana autumn that lasts longer than a week or two. It's a shame fall isn't longer around here because we get some amazing colors that take zero effort to find.

This incredibly colorful tree is hiding in plain sight and you might drive by it every day if you're in downtown Bozeman.

As a fellow resident of Bear Canyon, I can say that this is a fairly common occurrence.

Most of us aren't shy about sharing our pictures these days. Bozeman has been beautiful this Fall. I can't blame us....we normally don't really GET a Fall to enjoy.

Although we all wish we could spend our days looking at all the cool autumn trees in Bozeman, we have jobs and stuff, but that's why The MOOSE has an intern! See what it's like to drive down Willson Avenue in autumn while looking at the trees...
